Monday morning Mrs. S. Mayer will
place upon exhibition very choice Sc
lection of patterns and eastern made
hats and bonnets. AS usual, Mrs Mayer
spent some weeks with the importers
and manufacturers in bargaining and
selecting her stock. The result cannot
be doubted. The lady has the reputa-
tlOn of long experience and good taste
and she will not disappoint her patrons
this season either in style or price. Mrs.

Business as Seen by a Business Man

Business as Seen by Business Man.
Mr.. Albert Joske, OF Joske Brothers,
who has lust returned from New York
expresses himself as decidedly OF opin-
ion that business has decidedly up ward
tendency in New York, and In
nearly every section of the country,
which he passed. Mr.. Joske says trade
in New York is good, money plenty for
all legitimate purposes OF business and
only shut up from speculative uses. The
Ives matter and some other transactions
have rendered the banks fearful Of hav-
ing to care very suddenly for some
twenty-six millions Of unproductive Sc
curitios, and they are consequently
quite Chary of depicting their vaults and
lowering their reserves. Outside OF this
there Is no scarcity in the money mar
ket. Business is good, sales are brisk :,
the volume OF transactions large and
everywhere there Is confidence and good
feeling among business men. The same
onditiOn of things was observed all
through the middle and southern states.
In Atlanta and in Montgomery
every one was happy, business booming
and the whole country prosperous. In
the former city fairs were all the talk,
and for a hundred miles around the pee :
pie were talking OF the coming fairs, eX-
positions, and other industrial gather
ings. Everyone was alive, earnest, en-
thusastic and strangers were impressed
with the fact that the people had great
faith in themselves and their prospects;
that they were doing well
and expected to do better.
Whatever may or may not be the cOndi-
tiOn in this immediate section, MIR.
Joske is confident that the business Of
the country as u whole is in fine cOndi-
ton and that the outlook for business,
east, north, west and south is unusually
promising.

QUITE A MISTAKE.
There's no Bad Blood Between the
Mayor and the Street Com


missioner.
The Express this morning leads TO
the inference that Mayor Callaghan and
Street Commissioner Campbell had an
alteration yesterday that nearly led to
blows, but this is wrong, and there ia no
warrant for an inference OF that kind.
The only thing that occurred Is authori-
lively explained in the following way.
Some time ago Mayor Callaghan issued
an order to all departments requiring
the heads to make requisitlOn on him
for all supplies required, and saying that
no moneys would be paid unless the
goods were supplied upon an order is-
sued from the mayors office. a few days
ago the order Was repeated, and, OF
course, Mr.. Campbell received one. He
took this rather to mean that he had
infringed the order end meeting Mayor
Callaghan he asked whether that was
the meaning OF the respected order.
Mayor Callaghan replied mo" and ex-
planned that the circular sent all the de-
partments was merely reminder OF his
instructions, and carried no reflection TO
those who had not infringed the order.
Thus the matter ended, but two or three
mutual friends jOked upon the subject,
and 1t is presumed that some waggish
friend played a joke upon the Express
In reporting inacourately what they Sc
cured.

The Mute Confessional.

s'Even though an innocent man may
suffer death,'' says a priest in reply to
the query of noted French llterateur,
ssa confessor cannot reveal the sin told
him under the seal of confession. Never
since the institution Of the Sacrament
of Penance has priest been known to
disclose that which was made known to
him in the confessional. Scoffers OF
religion have made priests drunk for
the purpose of loosening their tongues
upon the confessional. Priests have
become apostates Others have become
insane. But never has it been known
that the priesthood has been disgraced
by the revelation Of the sins told by the
penitent. Should the innocent suffer,
that would be the business OF God,
The priest cannot communicate the
sins confessed to him.
about eighty years ago, young
priest in Ireland who was connected
with very respectable family, heard
the confession Of a man who had COM
mitted murder. The brother OF the
priest, who was military officer, was
tried and convicted of the crime. He
was executed. His aged mother died
Of grief. The priest shortly after be-
came insane. But not one word es-
capped his lips to disclose the secret OF
the confessional. The murderer HIM
elf eventually openly confessed his
.rime.
ssIn Russian Poland an organist and
parish teacher killed a government Of
ficer. He used the gun of the priest,
and secreted it beneath the altar in the
church, where it was found. There
were circumstantial incidents that
seemed to point to the priest as the
guilty man. He was was arrested and
was sentenced to Siberia. Twenty
wears later the organist, when on his
deathbed, publicly acknowledged that
he had committed the murder. A par
don was forwarded to the exiled priest,
but death had carried him off two years
before. 1t was to that priest the murderer
had gone to confession after the COM
mission of the crime. But living
death in Siberia was preferable TO
breaking the eternal seal of the sacred
tribunal of the confessional.
millions of years may yet endure ere
the earth is destroyed, and still no
priest Of the Church of God will eyer
break the seal. This is the work, not
of man, but of God Himself, for only
the Omnipotent could SC preserve it's
integrity"

Hot water is the best thing that

walls that the National banks in this
country are owned by capitalists. and
their stock so closely guarded that
poorer people can not find the oppor-

mistake, as is shown by the report Of
the Comptroller of the Currency, which
states that there are 1856 National

represented by about 100000 shares,
in the possession of 233,o00 persons,
